Shree Cement Boosts Green Goals with 6 MW Solar Plant in Roorkee

Shree Cement, one of India’s leading cement producers, has commissioned a 6.0 MWp solar power plant at its Roorkee unit in Uttarakhand. Strategically located next to its existing cement operations, the plant marks a significant step forward in the company’s journey towards its RE100 targets and decarbonization goals.

With this latest addition, solar capacity at the Roorkee facility has grown sevenfold from 1.0 MWp to 7.0 MWp. Shree Cement’s total solar footprint now stands at an impressive 293.5 MWp, reinforcing its leadership in sustainable manufacturing within India’s cement sector.

Neeraj Akhoury, Managing Director, Shree Cement said, “Sustainability is embedded in everything we do. The commissioning of the Roorkee solar plant is a testament to our commitment to reducing carbon emissions and building long-term energy resilience. Projects like this not only benefit the environment but also create local jobs and contribute to inclusive economic growth.”

Developed with a capital investment of approximately Rs 160 million, the solar power plant is expected to significantly reduce reliance on grid power and offset around 6,500 metric tonnes of CO₂ emissions annually, contributing meaningfully to climate action.

This milestone represents a significant advance in Shree Cement’s pursuit of energy self-sufficiency and its unwavering commitment to building a sustainable, greener future.
